My car has had many problems and has not been able to be fixed through the dealership. All problems occurred after 50,000 miles. The engine seems to run and start hard. The car would not accelerate when driving. It would rev up but no motion until something eventually switched into gear, while in motion on streets and highway. It will act like this for awhile without triggering a code. I would bring it to the dealership and would be told it was nothing. Eventually it will trigger the epc code, but the code will disappear the next time the car is turned on. About 4 days after that the engine light comes on. Volkswagen dealership has "fixed" this issue once before stating that it was a manufacture defect. They covered the cost, but since then it has happened again and they state that now I am responsible for covering the repair, when it wasn't fixed correctly or diagnosed correctly in the first place. I have missed numerous days of work, and have been without a car do to diagnosis/ repairs for over 2 months in this past year. This should not happen with only 56,000 miles on a car.

Issues with my 2014 vw jetta started march 2018. My car had a rough idle that would physically impact the car causing the car to jerk. When decreasing speeds my car would jerk. My car has stalled multiple times while in motion and while coming to a complete stop. I have had issues with my engine mil light and battery light when my car stalled and completely lost power. Upon the first occurrence, I brought my vehicle to the dealership and they informed me I had to get my spark plugs changed, cam sensor replaced, and an induction service. After completion of this work, my car continued to have the same symptoms. After returning to the car dealership they then determined that my timing chain, tensioner, and bridge needed to be replaced. After this repair was completed my oil light came and I took my car back in for an oil change. During the oil change, the service rep informed me that they did not see anything wrong and that I needed to make an appointment to have another diagnostic test done I wanted a second opinion because this whole situation was exacerbating my anxiety and I did not trust the dealership or vw. Please see the attached word document for full report.

The engine may idle and stumble upon acceleration. This may be due to faulty engine control module software misadjusting the valve timing." thi is the current safety recall for the same make model and year of my car, however, my VIN has not been included.

Stationary, in motion, and when turning--airbag light is on, horn doesn't work, cruise control switch doesn't work and steering wheel buttons do not work. Purchased this vehicle from a toyota dealership two months ago--with only 30k miles. At 34k miles when this problem occurred.

Takata recall. I have a 2014 volkswagen jetta gli edition 30 w/navigation. My airbag light came on while I was driving that's right in motion. The same day my steering wheel started clicking when I turned it to the left one day. I went to use my horn and it wouldn't work. Then noticed all of my all the buttons on my steering wheel were not working either. The steering wheel buttons are the controls for the navigation settings, time, phone. There isn't a way to change setting using the console buttons. The steering wheel controls are the hub of setting controls. I can not use my horn for anything. 18 wheelers swaying, someone not paying attention I can not use my horn for any of these reasons. Every time I get in my car I am without an airbag. I went online to do some research. I found a recall for the 2014 jetta I printed out the recall # and took it to the dealership and said this recall and the clicking on my steering wheel match. Can you fix this here? The representative then told me that he was sorry the recall did not include the gli 30 year anniversary edition jetta. The shop would not order the part without a diagnostic which cost me $120.88. Once the diagnostic was complete I received a call "ma'am you are correct the clock spring is what needs to be replaced and the part is $290.07 and labor $316.88 with tax a total of $682.33 even though everything matched the recall. Because this recall isn't expanded and doesn't include the correct cars. I have had to pay $803.21. I am out safely driving with a airbag or the safety of a horn. This recall does not include all cars affected.

We drove our 2014 v/w jetta to grocery store and vehicle was parked in the parking lot while my husband was sitting in it waiting for me to return no more than 20 minutes the vehicle engine light came on and begin flashing and turned off and would not turn back on. We called aaa for towing and an extra battery but the batter was working fine. Almost 2 hours later waiting for 2nd tow truck to come and tow the vehicle, it turned over and we managed to drive 2 miles home and the car started one more time and has not turned back on since. We had vehicle towed to the dealer and the dealer says it is engine problem and we have to pay $396 to pay for repair. We have had this brand new vehicle for 9 months and it has burned my husband back and now it doesn't work.....
